A randomised clinical trial was conducted on 20 healthy, low-habitual fibre consumers to assess the short-term effects of water intake (2 l/day) on fibre supplementation with wheat bran, pectin, and green banana flour. During the 14-days trial, fibre intake doubled in both fibre ( n  = 10) and fibre/water ( n  = 10) interventions ( p  &lt; 0.001), whereas daily water intake increased from 538 to 1990 ml in the fibre/water group ( p  &lt; 0.001). Weekly bowel movements increased similarly in both interventions (fibre: 6.8–8.8; fibre/water: 8.6–10;  p  &lt; 0.01), while faecal weight (71–126 g;  p  = 0.009) increased in the fibre/water group. This group showed higher counts of faecal  Bacteroides  and  Prevotella ,  Faecalibacterium prausnitzii , and  Bifidobacterium , whereas both interventions decreased the count of  Desulfovibrio . Transient abdominal symptoms occurred less frequently in the fibre/water than in the fibre group (3 vs. 9 participants;  p  = 0.020). In healthy, low-habitual fibre consumers, short-term water intake helps the intestinal adaptation to fibre supplementation. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:  NCT02838849
